when we enter this world
we face severe distress

our skull overlaps crushing us
we squeeze through our body, fighting to breathe
and after all the struggle ,we cry

not laugh nor talk,but cry

and it continues to until death takes form

so we continue to fight through
till the very end
just like we did

Life awakens in a serous sea
Momentary stirs inside me
Reminding me I’m not alone
also how large that I have grown.

To usher in a brand new year.

It must be January 1st!
Parturition has now begun;
Well, do your thing daughter or son
It matters not since you’re my first
Though I pray not breech but headfirst....

sourced from the dusk 
of fears and hopes. 
 
You are ebbs 
you are flows— 
you are metaphors 
blooming till they grow feeble 
crinkling into fallen flowers, 
meeting millipedes 
meeting mess— 
to grow again 
anew—stalks sturdy— 
hope an approaching fire 
Flower, 
Locus, 
Living....
